The eight young leaders were silently marveling at the powerful spiritual sense the four senior leaders
had released. Their reaction was natural and involuntary.
'Our senior leaders are so powerful!' they thought.
Upon entering the Fiery Eye, the young leaders had discovered their spiritual senses to be severely
dampened.
The distance they could perceive through their powers had been reduced by a great extent. It was like
an invisible fog was covering the place, rendering any spiritual sense unusable.
And yet, the spiritual senses of the four senior leaders did not seem affected at all. Instead, they could
easily perceive the space around them in a very large radius, just like they usually did.
"Hang on! I think I have located the aura of that fire source beast. There are several passages here
that he walked through,"
one of the senior leaders suddenly informed as he held up his hand.
"Same here. I can sense his aura too,"
the other three echoed.
"That's great!"
The eight young leaders grew extremely excited upon hearing the update.
The last time they had come here, they couldn't do anything at all. In the dense jungle of passages that
lay here, they had no idea which way they should follow and had just walked around in circles for a
long time. Unable to figure out a solution, they had eventually left with nothing but frustration in their
hearts.
But the four senior leaders had positive news to share within moments of their arrival.
"Awesome!
Our senior leaders are immensely powerful, and no one can stop them.
The Time Chamber Sect will always be one of the top-most forces in the Absolute Space Sea as long
as they are on our side!"
Solomon couldn't restrain his excitement and telepathically communicated it to his seven companions.
"That's right!
The Time Chamber Sect is literally rising now!"
The others shared the same feeling.
"I can sense a small space where the fire source beast's aura is particularly strong.
It looks like the beast has left it just a little while ago.
Let's go there first. Maybe we'll find more clues about his whereabouts."
One of the senior leaders pointed towards a passageway up ahead.
A scorching fire of an incredibly high temperature was roaring along this path.
Everyone followed him through the passageway immediately.
Under his lead, the group shuffled back and forth along several passageways and tunnels. It looked
like they were walking through a maze. In fact, if the eight young leaders had come here alone, they
would have been lost within seconds.
After quite a long while,
they finally arrived in a small space.
The moment they stepped inside, Solomon exclaimed in surprise,
"I can sense it too! This is the place we are looking for!
I can also feel the aura of the fire source beast here.
He has been here
and if I'm not mistaken, he has just left!"
He had closely fought with the fire source beast and therefore, was familiar with his aura.
"Hurry up! Let's quickly check and see where the beast could possibly have gone."
The four senior leaders immediately released their spiritual senses. Combining that power with some
brilliant secret techniques, they began searching for the fire source beast once more.
Their spiritual senses were incredible and their skills were unmatched. Hence, just a few moments
later, they found something.
"I believe I have found the fire source beast.
Everybody come with me!" one of them exclaimed.
He took the lead and rushed out of the small space, utilizing a different passage this time.
At that very moment,
their target was carrying Austin towards the innermost part of the Fiery Eye.
The deeper they went, the more sacred fires they encountered.
It was like walking through a sea of horrifying fire.
Very soon, Austin began to find the heat unbearable.
Although he was able to control eight kinds of sacred fires and had also achieved excellence in the fire-
controlling skill, he was finding it difficult to cope with the fire around them right now. This was because
the sacred fires around them were very dense and were burning in every nook and cranny.
Further, the law of fire was getting increasingly advanced as they went deeper.
With his current level in fire-controlling skill, it was proving slightly difficult for him to deal with such a
powerful law.
After all, he was no match for the fire source beast when it came to the fire-controlling skill.
Fire source beasts were born with the law of fire inherently present inside their bodies. Therefore, they
were highly skilled at controlling all kinds of fires and weren't affected by sacred fires no matter how
powerful they were.
Fortunately, the beast seemed to sense Austin's discomfort and, with a wave of his hand, he released a
powerful law energy to protect Austin by enveloping him in a sort of shield.
Austin found himself feeling much better. He could breathe much more easily now.
"Austin, the environment here is a little dangerous for you.
But this is the best possible place to cultivate the fire-controlling skill.
I'm going to teach you what I've learned over the past few years about fire-controlling.
You should try to develop a good understanding of the same.
Once that is done, you can cultivate here,"
the fire source beast told Austin.
He sent a piece of information into Austin's Soul Sea. It was a complete description of everything he
had comprehended about controlling fire. Together, this was worth a few hundred years of experience
that he had learned through secluded cultivation.
"Thank you!"
Austin said gratefully.
"You're welcome.
If you hadn't been here in time, those cultivators from the Time Chamber Sect would have trapped me."
The fire source beast nodded.
They continued further into the Fiery Eye.
The fire source beast was leading the way and therefore, Austin could just relax.
He wouldn't have to worry about getting lost or getting hurt as long as he kept following the fire source
beast.
While on his way, he began meditating and cultivating the information about controlling fire that the fire
source beast had sent into his Soul Sea.
He was doing so by taking advantage of the surrounding environment, which was perfect for cultivation
of this type.
The quantity and density of the sacred fires around them increased, and the law of fire also became
increasingly advanced with every step they took.
Austin also released his spiritual sense to study and analyze the sacred fires and the law of fire that
were pervading the space around them.
The fire source beast had taught him a highly useful and precious skill and he was grateful.
Very soon, he discovered that his fire-controlling skill was beginning to improve.
This constant improvement allowed him to slowly adapt to the sacred fires around him.
While they were moving forwards,
the twelve leaders of the Time Chamber Sect, were tracking the fire source beast and Austin in the
distance.
It had to be said that the four senior leaders were terrifyingly powerful. They had already located the
exact passageways which the fire source beast had passed through and were following his trail without
any mistakes.
However, their presence did not go undetected. The fire source beast suddenly stopped and warned,
"Something is wrong!
We are being followed!"
"What?"
Austin blurted out. He was surprised to hear someone could follow them here.
"It must be the old leaders from the Time Chamber Sect!
They are coming for us!"
Austin immediately realized who their pursuers could be.
"You're right.
I can sense their presence and four of them are immensely powerful. I don't think I am a match for
them,"
the fire source beast informed anxiously.
"Ah, yes! The four senior leaders of the Time Chamber Sect!
The sect's strength has vastly increased because of their return. In fact, it has now become one of the
most powerful forces in the Absolute Space Sea,"
Austin remarked.
